Various Lilac Species 
JAPONICA. A unique species from Japan, becom¬ 
ing a good-sized tree; dark, glossy foliage; creamy 
white flowers in large panicles; odorless. Blooms a 
month later than the other Lilacs. For this reason 
it is especially desirable, as it prolongs Lilac time in 
the garden in a most delightful way. 75 cts. each, 
$6 for 10. 
JOSIK7EA. A distinct Asiatic species, forming a 
small tree, with large, shining leaves and purple 
flowers in June after other Lilacs have done flower¬ 
ing. 75 cts. each, $6 for 10. 
OBLATA. Grows to 12 feet; pale lilac to purple- 
lilac flowers in panicles 5 inches long and broad. $1. 
PEKINENSIS. Grows 15 feet high with slender 
branches and creamy white flowers in June. $1. 
PERSICA. A fine old variety of dwarf, bushy 
habit, with very fragrant purple flowers and loose 
panicles. One of the most desirable species. Blooms 
in late spring. 75 cts. each, $6 for 10. 
PERSICA ALBA. A fine white sort; flowers 
delicately tinted with purple. 75 cts. each, $6 for 10.

tinct, hybrid variety, with reddish flowers; large 
panicles, produced abundantly. 75 cts. each, $6 for 10. 
VILLOSA Emodi. A species from the Hima¬ 
layas, forming a large shrub, with bright green foli¬ 
age, whitish underneath, and panicles of pinkish lilac 
flowers in May and June. 75 cts. each, $6 for 10. 
VULGARIS. The well-known, old-fashioned 
Lilac. Dense panicles and handsome purple flowers 
in May; very fragrant. Notwithstanding the strong 
appeal of the hybrid varieties, this is still a favorite. 
75 cts. each, $6 for 10.

white, fragrant flowers. 75 cts. each, $6 for 10. 
WILSONII. Species with brown-black stems; 
panicles of huge size, of lilac-mauve color. $1.50. 
Deutzias 
Deutzias are very graceful. The dwarf Gracilis varieties are especially valuable for planting in front ot 
the more upright-growing shrubs, hiding the bare stems of the latter by their abundant, drooping foliage, 
which reaches to the ground, completely covered in the end of May and in June by their large clusters of 
small, fragrant, white or pale rose flowers. . . . 
Discolor, Scabra, and Vilmorinfe are more upright in growth, and Pride of Rochester forms a large speci¬ 
men 6 to 8 feet in height, and should be planted in the background. 
By crossing the various species, Mr. Lemoine lias raised a great many very beautiful new varieties, and 
nearly all of the hybrids offered in this list were originated by him. The Crenata hybrids are crosses between 
D. crenata and D. Vilmorinx. The Discolor hybrids are crosses of D. purpurascens with D. scabra and other 
species. The Gracilis types are the most dwarf and are crosses of D. Sieboldiana and various species.
